There's Nothing Like Family

[Guest guest]

So tonight, I contacted my sister with whom my mother lives.

It would help Cub if I could get the name of the neurologist that

treated my brother for the same disorder my son has recently been

diagnosed with. Of course, some of you here will say that I should

just phone my brother but I can't because he's passed away quite some

time ago.

This leaves me with my mother to provide not only the name of the

neurologist but to assist me with leads to access my brother's old

medical files as they pertain to this diagnosis.

Instead, my sister with whom my mother is living advised me that:

1) she has no sister by my name;

2) she only has one sister (this would be the youngest in the family

btw);

3) there have been great medical advancements so the information the

doctors feel is imperative to access is not required (I didn't

realize she has information that escapes experts at Sick Kids'

Hospital in Toronto);

4) our mother is not living with her (trust me, I know our mother is

living with my sister); and

5) she doesn't really care what happens to Cub.

What is it with NTs that this is how they treat people they hate ...

to hurt an innocent child they could actually help?

And then I think back to my childhood and I realize that what

happened on the phone tonight is no different than the life I lived

albeit it was a much shorter episode than living years and years and

years under this sort of abusive interaction from my parents and

siblings.

So there you have it, people. My own sister who just happens to be

NT has no problem lying about who her sister is even when it means

that she could be harming -- and possibly killing -- a child who

never did anything bad towards her.

Nice. Yeah, there's nothing like family ... that's for sure.

NOT!
